Trying something new can be a little bit scary, but what a great feeling when you make the connection. We’re trying new things all the time and we want you to try them too, so come with us and we’ll help connect you with art, nature, history, ideas - and each other.

Take a dip into drawing this weekend as Museums Sheffield head to the Sheffield seaside with a beach bag full of sketching activities.

Join us at Sheffield by the Seaside in the Peace Gardens to sketch in sand, make a 3D seagull, fold an origami boat, or even draw your own postcard. Come rain or shine we'll have lots of fun drawing activities to brighten up your bank holiday weekend.

This event is part of Drawing the Summer, a programme of exhibitions, events, and have-a-go activities to get Sheffield sketching morning, noon and night. From careful botanical drawings to super speedy charcoal sketches, awaken your inner artist and polish up your creative skills. Take a fresh look at the things around you and capture the moment or let your imagination roam.
